Ya I saw the nfl network on best qbs of the 70s and Bradshaw was # 3 behind staubach and tarkenten. I thought it was bullshit. Like saying dan Marino and John elway were higher on the 80 s list than joe montana. Bradshaw wasn't always perfect, but when it came down to the big games and crucial moments he was money.

Same reason you never hear big Ben mentioned as an elite qb. Or ever hear Franco Harris mentioned as one of the greatest rbs of all time. Or the reason Jerome Bettis isnt in the hall of fame yet.

Other then the 4 mentioned of the 70's most of the other qb's were not very good at all. Archie Manning may have been good though but all I remember of watching him. Is him running 20 yards in his own backfield for his life. If you think Ben has it bad with OL then watch some old footage of Manning.
